- English enquiries welcome worldwide
First-hand parent perspectiveThoughtful. Accurate. Thorough.
INTERNATIONAL FAMILIES ARE WELCOME
English-language guidance for families in Singapore and worldwide.
MarinaUhak is Korea-based and Singapore-focused. Families of every nationality can contact us in English from Singapore or overseas.
Families of every nationality
MarinaUhak welcomes international families in Singapore and overseas. No Korean connection is required.
Online from anywhere
Begin before your move or while living in Singapore through email, WhatsApp and online consultation.
Clear scope and payments
We explain the available support clearly. School charges follow the school’s own invoice and payment instructions.
WHERE IS YOUR FAMILY STARTING?
The starting point changes the admissions plan.
Families applying from overseas, transferring locally or preparing an older student for boarding do not need the same sequence. We begin with the transition your family is actually making.
Starting from another country
Plan year placement, application timing, online assessment, school visits and the move before arriving in Singapore.
See the family pathwayTransferring within Singapore
Review the reason for change, curriculum continuity, current availability and what the family hopes a new school will improve.
See the family pathwayMoving from an international school elsewhere
Compare calendars, year-group terminology, subjects, records and qualification pathways across two school systems.
See the family pathwayExploring boarding for an older student
Connect the school decision with boarding provision, guardianship questions, travel, wellbeing and family communication.
See the family pathwayPLAN BACKWARDS FROM THE SCHOOL START
It is not too early to understand the timeline.
Planning early does not mean applying immediately. It means knowing which decisions can wait, which documents take time and when school-specific action becomes useful.
Explore without rushing
Clarify curriculum, likely year placement, budget, relocation assumptions and the right time to visit.
Build the application plan
Confirm a realistic shortlist, records, assessment expectations, entry dates and school-specific availability.
Prioritise what can move now
Focus on schools that can review the intended grade and keep application, relocation and decision deadlines visible.
DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOUR FAMILY?
Start with the question that is already on your mind.
You do not need to know every school name before contacting us. Tell us what is changing, what worries you and when your family hopes to begin. We will help organise the next questions in a practical order.
Relocating on a tight timeline
A new assignment can bring school applications, housing decisions and family logistics all at once. We help you separate the urgent decisions from the ones that can wait.
Discuss this situationAlready living in Singapore
Even with local knowledge, choosing for your own child can be difficult. We help families review what is working, what is not and whether a transfer deserves closer consideration.
Discuss this situationConcerned about English readiness
We look at age, current English exposure, admissions assessment and the language support available at different schools before narrowing realistic options.
Discuss this situationPlanning one year ahead
Early planning can reduce rushed decisions. We organise the timeline around application windows, school visits, documents and your family’s wider relocation plan.
Discuss this situationConsidering a school transfer
A transfer is rarely only about the curriculum. We consider your child’s experience, learning needs, friendships, commute and the family’s longer-term plans.
Discuss this situationExploring boarding or independent study
For older students, we can discuss school type, boarding arrangements, guardianship questions and the practical preparation your family may need to explore.

Compare the decisions behind the school names.
A useful school comparison looks beyond reputation. Curriculum, entry timing, grade placement, English support, total school costs, campus location and your family’s next move should be read together.
British, IB, American and other pathways
Understand how curriculum, grade placement and future transitions connect before comparing individual schools.
Application timing and assessment
Plan around intended entry dates, year-group availability, required records, interviews and school-specific assessment processes.
English support and classroom readiness
Compare how schools describe English language support, entry expectations and the transition into everyday classroom learning.
Fees, initial charges and additional items
Review the school’s published fee schedule carefully, including application, enrolment, facility, language support and other possible charges.
Campus, commute and daily family life
A school can look ideal on paper but feel very different once the commute, transport and family schedule are considered together.
A decision your family can understand
We organise the information clearly so parents can compare the trade-offs and make their own informed school decision.
A MANAGED ADMISSIONS JOURNEY
Important details are easier to handle when the whole process is visible.
We treat each family’s school selection and admissions preparation as an important project—with a clear sequence, careful communication and close attention to the decisions that affect what comes next.
- 01
Understand the family
Entry timing, child’s age and school history, family plans, priorities and practical constraints.
- 02
Build a realistic shortlist
Curriculum, admissions conditions, English support, location, costs and availability are reviewed together.
- 03
Prepare the application
Application forms, supporting documents, school communication and assessment schedules are organised step by step.
- 04
Follow the process
We keep track of the school’s requests, interview or assessment arrangements and the next required action.
- 05
Prepare for the transition
After an offer, we help families track school enrolment and onboarding. Any immigration requirements are checked separately through official Singapore authority guidance.
WHY MARINAUHAK
We do not stop at choosing a school.
A school decision sits inside a much larger family plan. We consider the child’s learning experience, the family’s goals, budget, timeline and everyday reality so the decision remains understandable and workable after enrolment.
“Kind communication, accurate information and careful follow-through should make an international school journey feel lighter—not more overwhelming.”

WHAT FAMILIES REMEMBER
Clarity, care and close communication.
Translated from visitor reviews published on Naver Place.
“Even after admission, they continued to check how our child was settling in and helped whenever we had a question.”
“They checked and took care of details that I had not even thought to ask about.”
“They listened carefully to our situation and explained everything with real attention to detail.”
